PowerBoost 500C

Post by jr10 »

I just received my PowerBoost 500C charger. It looks great. I had a question come to mind before using it in my application.
One of the reasons I like it is the micro Lipo charging port. My question is this. Would it be possible to charge a 6.6V 1100mAh LiFePo4 battery safely with this?
Any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jay

No. LiPo cells of all varieties are sensitive to charging sequences and these are designed specifically for 3.7v LiPo/LiPoly cells.
